 Garmin 276C - excellent ! September 9, 2005
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I am very pleased. I use the unit on a motorcycle and it has met my expectations so far. Easy to use menus. Easy to see screen. Very satisfied. Only complaint is maps are too expensive. $ 75 for a CD ?
Excelent equipment May 16, 2007

This GPS covered my expectations and much much more.
It has two modes of operation (Car or Boat) and with
the optional memory module, can load maps and
POIs for a maximum experience
Awesome piece of kit May 12, 2007

This GPS unit is a true asset for marine use. The refresh speed of the mapping page is very fast and the button use is intuitive. Only gripe is the 12v charger lead purchased separatley broke after less than one week.
Garmin 276C GPS Navigator February 16, 2008

This is a superb product! I previously owned a Garmin CarPilot; the operational procedures of the 276C are similar and very convenient and easily understood. The voice feature of the 276C can be turned down (or off), however I found it to be preferable, especially for city driving as one does not have to look at the display at all. "Just follow the Lady's directions!"
I bought an additional 256 mb memory card which allows detailed maps for about three Northwest States. I would recommend, instead, a 512 mb memory card (not available when I bought mine) so that more detailed data could be stored.
Very best hand held nautical use product! February 20, 2008

I've been using my 276C since they came out.
I race and cruise sailboats from my home port in Southern California but have used also it many times in Mexico, the East Coast, the UK and The Netherlands. It is a remarkably functional and reliable unit. I've also used it occasionally for land based travel and though this is not my primary interest, I have been quite satisfied.
I have a chip so I can navigate the ports of Baja and Southern Mexico and it works seamlessly and A-OK. I still have paper charts on board but rarely use them other than to see the big picture. (To be fair, I should add that I also have a bigger, fancier RayMarine chartplotter/radar display unit at the helm, but I prefer my 276C for all uses except autohelm.)
Without question it is the best product out there for how I use it.
Oh, about 3 years ago I lost the unit overboard in Catalina in about 20' of water. I could see it down there but it took me several dives to collect it. Naturally it was non functional but I sent it in to Garmin and they sent me a new one for the $250 "repair" fee (including shipping). Took about a week.
